How To Get Better At Taking Criticism –
• Stop your mind from spiraling into “Everything I do is wrong.” Focus only on specific feedback.
• Get rid of “should” thinking. You “should” have thought of that. You “should’ve” known better or done better. It’s okay not to be perfect.
• Lean into it. Do your best to really listen to the advice and ask follow-up questions or examples.
• Practice by asking for feedback. “What can I do better? Where can I improve?”
• Give yourself room to be upset. It’s completely normal. BUT it’s also important that you don’t take those feelings out on the other person.
• Remember that constructive criticism is meant to be helpful and not hurtful. Look at it as kindness that is coming from a heartfelt place.
